The Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology

2nd Year Male -- Class 2005

Surrounding City: A-, Education Quality: F

I feel that my program of Quality Control and Non-destructive Testing is a very good one, but the college has lots that make me(and lots of people) want to leave. First off, housing. They lie to you, steel form you(yes, steal from your appartment), and charge you way too much. If you go here, DON'T live at the "Landing". They say you have to, but they lie and make you sign a horried lease. The gen. ed. classes are way way to easy. But the technical classes are allright. I just started them, and like them so far. If you dont live at the "Landing" and dont still have all of high school burned in your brain, then you will most likely like it here. But if you are just out of h.s. and make the mistake of living on campus, you will hate it.

Useful Schoolwork: A+, Individual Value: F

I have learned many things going to Spartan. one is to visit the school before deciding to go. this school puts their efforts into PR and recruiting. once there, not only do they treat you with condesending air, they literally know you by your social security number. they promise advanced, "hands-on" training and "trouble-shooting" techniques, but for a year now, every class is structured so that you take a quiz approx. 4 quizzes, 4 tests. not much opportunity for other grades. for a "lab", they hand you a book, and you as students work together to figure out the assignment. one instructor i've taken has not even recieved an associate's degree, allowed to teach on account of having passed the FCC certification test. the school seems to run students through a pre-determined tunnel of education, merely to process you as fast as possible, and to move the next student on in. one main thing i'd like any prospective student to look into is the crime rates of this school. while the "on campus" crime rate is posted, they are not required to post the "student housing" crime rate for some reason. our school does not have university email service.
